Summary of the contracting process

BlueLight Commercial Limited is currently in the tender stage of a procurement process titled "BLC0262 - Vehicle Livery," focused on providing vehicle livery goods and services for blue light organisations. This procurement falls within the services category and is set to establish a national framework across the United Kingdom, allowing for the design, supply, application, and removal of vehicle livery. Located in London, the buying organisation has set a deadline for the tender period to close on 25th November 2025, with the subsequent award period concluding by 10th December 2025. The procurement method employed is an open procedure, and potential suppliers are invited to express interest through the bluelight e-tendering portal.

It caters well to businesses capable of collaborating within a multi-supplier framework, expected to appoint up to three providers. Small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) may find this prospect favourable due to the framework's design, which allows for further competition and direct award without re-opening the competition. The contract, valued at approximately £9.6 million gross, covers the period from late December 2025 to December 2029, offering significant, long-term business growth potential.
